The Great Hornbill, Sarawak’s Symbol

The Great Hornbill is among the most impressive birds that we saw in Kuala Lumpur’s giant bird park, located in the ‘green lung of the city,’ a series of parks and a giant mosque.

Strolling down lanes under a huge green canopy, there were all manner of birds, from owls to eagles to this emblematic species, the symbol of Sarawak.

Today we’re off to ride elephants and hopefully we won’t be bucked off, as our guide has warned us sometimes happens when they hit the water.
